"Palamon and Arcite" is part of Fables, Ancient and Modern written by John Dryden and published in 1700. "Palamon and Arcite" is a translation of "The Knight's Tale" from The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer. Although the plot line is identical, Dryden expanded the original text with poetic embellishments. The source of Chaucer's tale was Boccaccio's "Teseida".

"Dryden's Palamon and Arcite" by Geoffrey Chaucer is a classic tale of chivalry, love, and rivalry set against the backdrop of medieval England. Inspired by Chaucer's original work, John Dryden's adaptation brings to life the epic story of Palamon and Arcite, two noble knights who vie for the affections of the fair Emilia. Through vivid language and stirring verse, Dryden captures the timeless themes of honor, duty, and the complexities of human emotion. As the knights battle for supremacy in both love and war, readers are drawn into a world of passion, intrigue, and ultimately, redemption. "Dryden's Palamon and Arcite" stands as a testament to the enduring power of Chaucer's storytelling, reimagined for a new generation by one of England's greatest poets.
